Learning Styles Assessment
VARK, which is an acronym for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic sensory modalities initially developed by Neil Fleming. It is also the foundation of a learning styles theory that suggests that certain individuals have certain preferences in learning styles. More in formation on the theory can be found HERE Links to an external site.
There are issues, however, when it comes to finding scientific evidence in the efficacy of designing curriculum that aligns with the VARK hypothesis. Please feel free to refer to the video below for a perspective on this:

In any case, regardless of the position one might take regarding the matter, it is likely a good idea to understand that there are many modalities in learning and a multi-faceted approach is probably the best approach. It is much more important to align proper context with the subject one is trying to learn when considering the learning modalities.
